As the top tourist attraction in Seoul, Myeong-dong has become the heart of K-beauty. Recently, Myeong-dong has become more than just a shopping area and has grown into a new and unique place with complex cultural spaces popping up like mushrooms after rain that offer original things to see and enjoy, from unique concepts to interior decorations and special services! Let’s check out Myeong-dong’s K-beauty hot spots.
If you’re looking for a special souvenir or gift while traveling in Seoul, visit the Laneige Flagship Store in Myeong-dong. This store offers a special service called “My Delicious Therapy” experience. Visitors can pick a fragrance of their choice to make Laneige’s globally bestselling mask, the Lip Sleeping Mask. In addition, the store offers personalized package designs for the creation of “customized makeup just for me” from the first step to the last. Reservations are required for the “My Delicious Therapy” experience and must be made in advance before the day of visit on the Laneige website.

Stylenanda Pink Hotel
Eye-catching from its entrance, Stylenanda Pink Hotel is a one-stop shopping space with items for beauty and fashion, and even a café. The building’s hotel concept under a pink-colored theme offers a different atmosphere on each floor.

The cosmetics, clothing, and accessories with which the space is brightly decorated can become props in the photo zone that is the entire place.
